About this map

Westboro sits just south of the Iowa-Missouri state line, serving as a hub for the surrounding agricultural lands of Atchison County. The landscape is defined by the drainage network of the Tarkio River, including the Middle Tarkio Cr and W Tarkio Cr, which cut through the undulating terrain. To the north, across the border in Page County, Iowa, the town of Northboro provides a secondary focal point for the region.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial sites, including Washington Township Cem, Union Grove Cem, and Walden Grove Cem. The area retains a traditional midwestern township structure, with a grid of rural roads like Satchel Ave and State Hwy C connecting these scattered historical landmarks. The presence of Deadmans Hollow adds a distinctive topographical feature to the east of Westboro, where the terrain shifts toward the Tarkio River valley.
